Low Carb Mulled Wine
How to Make It
Step 1
Choose a red wine that you prefer for your mulled wine. Some of the most Keto-friendly red wines are suggested in the introduction of this recipe. In this case, merlot was chosen, but you can really choose the type that suits your tastes. For taste, you may want to select a more full-bodied red wine.
Step 2
Next, you’ll need to choose your spices for the mulled wine. You can’t use ground spices – you’ll need to use whole ones. In this recipe, cinnamon, clove, allspice, and anise were chosen. Like the wine, you can choose the spices that are suited to your tastes (ex: omit the anise if you don’t like licorice flavors). Think ‘warm and comforting.’
Step 3
Pour the whole standard-size bottle of wine into a large pot on your stove. Peel all the skin off a whole orange, and throw the peels into the pot. Squeeze all the juice from the orange into the wine before discarding the pulp. Stir the brown sugar into the pot before dropping in your whole spices.
Step 4
Cover your pot and bring it to a boil at high heat. Then, immediately reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the wine bubble over low heat for 30 minutes before removing it from the heat and allowing it to cool for 5 minutes. Serve hot.
